George,
This one is easy. You need to connect to your DBE BEFORE you issue the start
command:
isql> CONNECT TO 'YOURDBE';
isql> START ODBCVIEW;
Kind regards,
Denys. . .
P.S. I am aware that all my quote marks are stripped from my messages. So,
the name of your dbe is enclosed in single quotes at the connect command
above.
